If his online dating profile has any of these red flags... move on to the next one, sweetheart!

-Amber Soletti, BettyConfidential.com

Having been online dating since moving to NYC in 2000, it goes without saying that I have more experience perusing men's online dating profiles than any single gal should. I want to share with you what I've found to be the top ten dating profile "red flags" that could save you the ridiculous amount of time that I have now forever lost by corresponding and/or going out with some total losers.

Disclaimer: To any of the men whose profiles inspired and unknowingly lent to the quotes that comprise my post, let's all hope for your sake that knowing is truly half the battle.

It seemed as soon as everyone saw Kate Middleton's gorgeous wedding gown, designers everywhere were rushing to their tables to draw a copy of Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen's lacey confection.

Allen Schwartz of ABS Designs has one in the works. ABS is famous for knocking off red carpet designs for years, so for him to do this was a no-brainer. The above photo is what their gown will look like in the stores. The price will be under $1000. Faviana and David's Bridals are working on affordable versions of the wedding stunner.

We all can agree that Kate Middleton looked ravishing on her wedding day. The gown, designed by Sarah Burton (she is the head designer for Alexander McQueen) is form-fitting and yet appropriate for a royal wedding.

One commentar stated that Kate looked like a medieval princess walking down the aisle. But the design looks hauntingly familiar.

Here's a side by side shot of Kate and Princess Grace of Monaco on their respective wedding days. See a resemblance? Princess Grace's wedding gown was designed by MGM's award winning costumer designer, Helen Rose.

Willam Kate Royal Wedding kiss

My husband walked in the kitchen this morning to find me teary-eyed over my laptop, swooning over replay clips and photos from the Royal Wedding. He observed for a moment and then grinned. "Is this like, the ultimate wedding?"

Why yes, indeed it is! And here are 10 of the swooniest moments ...

1. "You Look Beautiful"

As Kate met William at the altar, he spoke the words every woman wants to hear from the man she is about to marry.

2. THE DRESS! ZOMG!

I absolutely love Kate's dress, created by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It's a dreamy concoction, elegant and classic and perfectly suited to Kate. More details are here...

Kate and Pippa

The wedding ceremony of the century is over - but its impact on Duchess Catherine will be felt for the rest of her life.

A common remark we've all been hearing during this royal wedding frenzy is, "I would not want to be Kate Middleton." Granted, no one would want all the world's attention and pressure on them to be absolutely perfect on their wedding day - that is an unbearable load to bear. But, even though the wedding was by all appearances, perfection, most people still wouldn't want to be "Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge" (even with that incredible dress!).

Why? Well, once she exchanged vows with Prince William, her life changed forever. It's the plight of any celebrity who encounters fame, but it's of a completely different magnitude for Kate.

Jake Gyllenhaal's latest hairdo remind us that some people should stay away from the razor... unless they're one of these 12 stunners.

-Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

Poor Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted last week doing promo shots for his new movie, End of Watch, with an unfortunate-looking shaved head. The 30-year-old actor looked good with no hair in Jarhead, but this time around, something is definitely not right.

It just goes to show that some men should stay away from the razor if they know what's best for them. Unless, of course, they happen to be one of the following 12 smokeshows who look incredibly hot when they take it all off. C'mon boys, show us how it's done.

Kate Middleton: Royalty's Freshest Fashion Icon

Kate Middleton's 18-carat oval sapphire and diamond engagement ring is breathtaking, to say the least. With so much attention put on the late Princess Diana's ring from 1981, what modern jewelry could hold up to a ring of such timeless beauty?

Since her engagement, the 29-year-old has become somewhat of a fashion icon and all eyes have been on her while the world waits for the big day. Who will make her dress? Will it be traditional and conservative? Modern and avant-garde? Will she wear a tiara?

I have been in the luxury jewelry business for over 25 years and I consider it part of my job to 'read' the bride-to-be, get a sense of her style and help match pieces to a personality. Kate has always looked classy and put together in the public eye. She leans towards the conservative naturally, although still shows a unique fashion sense with her accent pieces like hats or earrings.

Kate Middleton's casual chic style is changing the face of royalty.

Thank goodness Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton -- now we finally have a royal fashion icon to drool over! The leggy brunette loves to mix up modestly priced clothing with luxury brands. The future Princess Catherine (as she'll officially be known once she ties the knot) lives in jeans, short skirts and figure hugging clothing.

Being admired for her style isn't new for Kate. She's been on best-dressed fashion lists since 2006, when the UK's The Daily Telegraph named her "most promising newcomer" to their list of stylish people. Tatler magazine placed her as number 8 of the best dressed of 2007. People added her to their best dressed list in 2006 and in 2010.

Here are some of the looks and trends we love best about Kate Middleton:
